  • They were transitioning from 80s to 90s TV. This isn’t like the millionth boring anime series that fans say “gets good after episode 150”, it was literally the 2nd try at Trek ever. No one’s saying season 1 or 2 is gold (although there are good eps in there), but the first season is like TOS with growing pains. There’s a reason it got 7 seasons, and if it’d been a total failure none of the other shows would exist.

    If you like Voyager, DS9, and Enterprise there’s no way you wouldn’t like TNG. Giving up on the entire run because the first couple seasons weren’t great after an almost 20 year hiatus from TOS is why your position seems a bit strange.





  • I’m astounded that a sport made it to the Olympic level without having more stringent observation in place. I used to play Ultimate (frisbee), and regular league play at the college level didn’t have refs. Teams called their own fouls and such and for the most part it worked pretty well. I dunno if things have changed in the past few decades and refs are standard for all games now, but even back then once you were at the regional or national tournament level they had refs (called observers I believe) to make decisions if calls were contested.

    If olympic curling had nothing like that my mind is literally blown

    Almost fell for the herring again but

    spoiler

    the creams saved me. Without heavy cream there were only 3 and I was sure creams had to be a category, so I started rechecking everything

    Once you spot a herring you can start thinking that it might be a rainbow, so each word has to be broken up.
